Broadcast Protocols Competitive
n Broadcast protocols work well. BCAST and FLOOD are almost
always as good as or better than other protocols, though sometimes
impose higher packet latency.
n Protocol overhead lower/competitive with best multicast protocol
n For a single multicast sender, FLOOD is the obvious choice, for
increasing number of multicast senders BCAST has the edge over
FLOOD
n ADMR performs very well in the presence of many multicast senders,
(is optimal choice in two scenarios under low mobility), with BCAST
being runner-up. All other protocols perform poorly in these scenarios.
n The choice of an optimal multicasting solution is largely independent
of the mobility rate.
